What is relative humidity?
When we think of high humidity, we probably think of a tropical jungle, but Canada has many locations typically humid: the Atlantic provinces, the Valley of the St-Lawrence, the Great Lakes, coastal towns in the Northern Territories and the coast of British Columbia. High humidity is beyond 70%. In winter, the humid cold intensifies our discomfort, penetrating our bones. In summer, high humidity clings to our bodies, causing stickiness, and for some, unruly hair!
